He knew farmers. He didn’t expect quite how much depth dairy farming carries — the science, the systems, the seasonal rhythms. But what surprised him most wasn’t the complexity of the work. It was the people. “What surprised me is probably just how many good people there are in the industry. I know sometimes farmers get a tough rap, but there are some really good people and some loyal people.” — Seb Bodle Dairy farming in New Zealand is deeply personal. Many of the farms Seb visits are family businesses — operations passed down through generations, run by people who are genuinely passionate about what they do. That culture of loyalty and hard work is something he didn’t anticipate, and something that’s shaped how he approaches every farm visit. https://www.terravest.co.nz/insights/more-of-the-food-story-now-starts-on-farm-6wjr7-6de87 monthly 0.5 2026-06-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69f90a2bc9da9b3ba1f7c23a/440e256a-46e1-4acf-a528-176b6c641964/Agora+Terravest+Deosan+DTS+Branding+Shoot+April+2026-408009.jpg Insights - Getting your farm ready before calving season - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69f90a2bc9da9b3ba1f7c23a/c12dd052-5bf7-4c64-b3be-390e285d3d57/Agora+Terravest+Deosan+DTS+Branding+Shoot+April+2026-407744.jpg Insights - Getting your farm ready before calving season - 1. Dairy hygiene - set your programme before day one Freshly calved cows are at their most vulnerable. Teat canals take time to fully close after calving, and the first few weeks of the season are when new mastitis infections are most likely to take hold. Your hygiene programme needs to be ready before the first cow walks through the shed — not the week after. Teat spray stocks confirmed and on-farm - don't rely on a last-minute order during calving week Post milking products matched to your herd's teat condition from last season CIP chemicals checked and replenished - a clean plant from day one protects milk quality from the start Teatcups and liners inspected and replaced if worn - damaged rubber harbours bacteria and is hard on teat ends If you had teat condition issues late last season, talk to your supplier before calving, not after https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69f90a2bc9da9b3ba1f7c23a/50721d6c-cb0f-46f8-b131-fc112724d2d0/Agora+Terravest+Deosan+DTS+Branding+Shoot+April+2026-507817.jpg Insights - Getting your farm ready before calving season 2. Refrigeration - get your vat serviced before the milk starts flowing A vat that hasn't been looked at since last season is an unknown quantity. Cooling failures, faulty agitators, and temperature drift don't always announce themselves - they show up quietly in your milk quality results, or not-so-quietly at 2am when something stops working. Pre-season is the best time to book a service because technicians aren't flat out yet and there's time to fix anything that needs attention before it matters. Mid-calving is the worst time to discover a refrigeration problem. Book a pre-season vat service and inspection - ideally 4–6 weeks before calving Check agitator function, door seals, temperature accuracy, and compressor condition If your vat is getting on in age, ask your technician for an honest assessment of its remaining life - better to plan than to be surprised Confirm your service provider has parts available for your vat model before any issues arise DTS/Cryvex technicians carry out 35-point pre-season inspections across New Zealand. Booking early means you get a time that suits you - not whoever's left at the end of the queue. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69f90a2bc9da9b3ba1f7c23a/46604303-8500-4704-9a4a-e83e5cd3c47d/Agora+Terravest+Deosan+DTS+Branding+Shoot+April+2026-408560.jpg Insights - Getting your farm ready before calving season - 3. Data and visibility - know what's happening in your vat in real time One of the quieter changes happening on New Zealand dairy farms is the shift toward real-time vat monitoring. Knowing your vat temperature, milk volume, and collection status from your phone - rather than walking out to check - sounds like a small convenience. But across a busy calving season, it adds up. For farms supplying Westland Milk Products or OFI, the Agora monitoring platform integrates directly with your supply company's systems, meaning your data is shared automatically and discrepancies are flagged early rather than after the fact. If you don't have real-time vat monitoring, calving season is a good time to consider it - you'll be checking your vat constantly anyway Agora installs are straightforward and work with most modern vat setups Talk to your Terravest rep about whether your shed is set up for monitoring and what it involves https://www.terravest.co.nz/insights/more-of-the-food-story-now-starts-on-farm-6wjr7-g9kel monthly 0.5 2026-05-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69f90a2bc9da9b3ba1f7c23a/4ef4352c-825f-4df5-a995-0e832a52424d/image.jfif Insights - From the Farm Gate to the Fairway.

For New Zealand, this matters. Our global reputation has always been built on trust, clean environments, good farming practices, and strong systems. But trust on its own isn’t always enough anymore.

One of his proudest recent milestones is welcoming his son Seb into the business. Seb was just three years old when Bodle first took over Deosan, and his joining marks the beginning of a second generation of family involvement. “It’s nice to feel a responsibility to continue to support NZ dairy farmers and to have Deosan, and now Terravest, being a second-generation business. Being a NZ-owned family business is very important to us.” https://www.terravest.co.nz/about daily 0.75 2026-05-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69f90a2bc9da9b3ba1f7c23a/1777928747999-OVTVD40BXC5GONDT5Z6M/imgi_26_w717h131-Inverted+Logo.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69f90a2bc9da9b3ba1f7c23a/1777928748017-YSXNCJTBBI7KXR6C9MEL/Agora+L.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69f90a2bc9da9b3ba1f7c23a/1777928748031-JQ2NUC9G13OTS5AUBYMU/DTS+Logo+%281%29.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69f90a2bc9da9b3ba1f7c23a/aa367044-5e01-4277-8e6e-aaa0cf93a1be/Agora+Terravest+Deosan+DTS+Branding+Shoot+April+2026-408471.jpg https://www.terravest.co.nz/ourstory daily 0.75 2026-05-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69f90a2bc9da9b3ba1f7c23a/1777928752064-FQKEIG5Y8AFFX096984K/Agora+Terravest+Deosan+DTS+Branding+Shoot+April+2026-407709_websize.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69f90a2bc9da9b3ba1f7c23a/1777928752077-FAXICZEC8E5XXHVPQ1H8/contours.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69f90a2bc9da9b3ba1f7c23a/1777928752095-XFAUS9WQYBSVG18HKO3X/imgi_26_w717h131-Inverted+Logo.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69f90a2bc9da9b3ba1f7c23a/1777928752113-JC5QLW2AYLZQJOFJ44G1/Agora+L.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69f90a2bc9da9b3ba1f7c23a/1777928752129-OPBNVLJXK7W62NOXIKT2/DTS+Logo.png https://www.terravest.co.nz/our-businesses daily 0.75 2026-05-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69f90a2bc9da9b3ba1f7c23a/1777928755287-5GJCPI3SW07SH72XZB7V/Agora+Terravest+Deosan+DTS+Branding+Shoot+April+2026-507469_websize.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69f90a2bc9da9b3ba1f7c23a/1777928755298-ABA0N0YQNNC0VA9I5N32/imgi_26_w717h131-Inverted+Logo.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69f90a2bc9da9b3ba1f7c23a/1777928755308-N1Q63U3Z6279LLV1NC4W/Agora+Terravest+Deosan+DTS+Branding+Shoot+April+2026-407773_websize.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69f90a2bc9da9b3ba1f7c23a/1777928755319-9ADP7Y2UJZYH4389AN0T/Agora+L.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69f90a2bc9da9b3ba1f7c23a/60a3d072-cadc-47c6-8e4d-74f4b4227e42/image+%281%29.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69f90a2bc9da9b3ba1f7c23a/1777928755339-MP3KDPL51V7IPOFJT9AC/DTS+Logo.png https://www.terravest.co.nz/contact daily 0.75 2026-05-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69f90a2bc9da9b3ba1f7c23a/1777928760015-EMPG226G1XGO0ZF8B1EW/Agora+Terravest+Deosan+DTS+Branding+Shoot+April+2026-408294_websize.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69f90a2bc9da9b3ba1f7c23a/1777928760040-XH1Z9WV8BHJEEZXDOKCU/imgi_26_w717h131-Inverted+Logo.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69f90a2bc9da9b3ba1f7c23a/1777928760064-M2ZP191RR5X0LWXOZ0MA/Agora+L.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69f90a2bc9da9b3ba1f7c23a/1777928760051-LT6B6X4MDJFY9RPUD7BA/DTS+Logo.png https://www.terravest.co.nz/home daily 1.0 2026-06-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69f90a2bc9da9b3ba1f7c23a/1777928761102-SVQ8Y40XHXG8RV4F505Y/contours.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69f90a2bc9da9b3ba1f7c23a/1777928761123-RXP2VDS3G6ADUAKN4LML/imgi_26_w717h131-Inverted+Logo.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69f90a2bc9da9b3ba1f7c23a/1777928761142-KIVGH3Y9ZPDYC4U3JANV/Agora+L.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69f90a2bc9da9b3ba1f7c23a/1777928761156-PAXEJ010J5HBOVL182CP/DTS+Logo+%281%29.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69f90a2bc9da9b3ba1f7c23a/1777928761186-ENTHAVM5AADWCQSMFOA3/Agora+Terravest+Deosan+DTS+Branding+Shoot+April+2026-408463.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69f90a2bc9da9b3ba1f7c23a/1777928761175-LD3UZ0LVL1EMVDZTCZN3/contours.png https://www.terravest.co.nz/careers daily 0.75 2026-06-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69f90a2bc9da9b3ba1f7c23a/6f2fdf0b-ab40-4b02-bf55-4ba4e6871ba6/Agora+Terravest+Deosan+DTS+Branding+Shoot+April+2026-407866.jpg
